News about DiagRA D and Silver Scan-Tool

Current versions as of December 9, 2020: 7.45.40

  • new recording format MDF4 with selectable MDF version 4.2.0, 4.1.1, 4.1.0 or 4.0.0
  • We have added DiagRA X Viewer to our download server. It is an add-on tool that can open MDF4 files created with DiagRA D’s recording function. We have decoupled it from our DiagRA X application tool for use with DiagRA D. You do not need an additional license for the viewer (just as you do for XML-Convert and XML-to-Excel).
  • The XML-to-PDF help tool has been replaced by the XML-Convert tool. The XML-to-PDF conversion function is again implemented in this new tool and in addition there is an XML-to-HTML function. The reason for this is that there are more and more problems when browsers are supposed to open XML files using a stylesheet. Just install the tool. It removes the XML-to-PDF tool and provides the same functionality plus the HTML conversion feature.
  • XML-to-Excel lets you convert OBD data from XML outputs of DiagRA D measurement runs to Excel. One can convert multiple XML files to one Excel file, simultaneously or sequentially, to compare them.
  • Adaptation work for the new SAE J1979-2 has started. We expect to provide a first version in the middle of Q1 2021.
  • Extensive enhancements for NOx binning and Green House Gas in SAE J1939 and in SAE J1979 Mode $09.

DiagRA D only

  • Support for CAN FD. Many interface types are already supported. Communication with ECUs supporting CAN FD is much faster – especially flash programming via DiagRA D Flash Plugin.
  • Autosar XML for parameterization of FlexRay communication

News Story DiagRA Embedded

Our DiagRA Embedded component provides a complete diagnostic stack as well as ECU flash programming on both Windows and embedded Linux devices. As a component library, it provides a C/C++ API. As a standalone version it is available with an integrated web server providing ReST and SOAP APIs. The following diagnostic standards are currently supported: ISO 14229 (UDS), ISO 27145, SAE J1939, SAE J1979, OBDII and WWH-OBD. CAN, CAN-FD, DoIP are supported. Currently already supported interfaces are SocketCAN, PEAK, Kvaser, PassThru and RP1210.

 

Possible Use-Cases

  • Engineering: as an application component for diagnostics or programming of test systems in the laboratory, on test setups during the diagnostic development process
  • Testing: as a component integrated in test benches or HiL test systems
  • Testing and verification of real driving emissions: as a component integrated on data loggers and telematic control units
  • Production: as an end-of-line update and test system, for automated programming stations or in a stand-alone Flash application during vehicle transport. Already available in the DiagRA Flash Station tool, which can program up to 10 ECUs on 10 separate vehicle buses.
  • After Sales: integrated in the workshop tester or as a component for diagnostics in the back-end.

Training: DiagRA® D

The one-day training course teaches DiagRA® D users the full range of functions of this comprehensive RA software, which is used in the development of vehicle control units to record diagnostic data. Participants will have the opportunity to immediately apply and deepen the knowledge they have acquired in extensive practice sessions.

Duration: 8:30 – 16:00
Venue: RA Headquarters, Bruchsal (Germany)

Training: ODX for Diagnostics Developers

This training is designed to convey basic knowledge to interpret ODX description datasets. Another key focus is building knowledge towards PDX data containers, correlations, diagnostic services, diagnostic objects (measurement values, event memory, routines, acutuator tests), parameters, and conversions within the ODX file.

Duration: 8:30am – 4:00pm

Training: OTX – Exchange Format for Test Sequences

Remark: This training is conducted by our partner, emotive GmbH.

The new standard OTX (Open Test sequence eXchange – ISO 13209) has been created as a reusable format for the exchange of test sequences in off-board-diagnosis. Another positive effect is a fundamental contribution to reducing the complexity in today’s automotive development. The usability of OTX, however, is not only limited to vehicle diagnostics. By using suitable libraries it can be used in many different areas ranging from test automation to HIL-Simulation. This training will provide a comprehensive and systematic overview and introduction to the new exchange format for test sequences. Participants will be introduced to the structure and use of OTX data and gain insight on possibilities and limitations of the standard. The contents of the seminar will be explained and illustrated through real world examples, small exercises and live demonstrations.

Target Group:

The seminar is designed for engineers of the vehicle manufacturers and their suppliers. General knowledge of vehicle diagnostics and diagnostic processes is a prerequisite.

Date: Please ask us about an appointment.

Duration: approx. 9:00am – 05:00pm

Location: Bruchsal

For registration and additional information please contact: info@rac.de

We also invite you to inform yourself on our partner emotive. Registration for individual seminars and inquiries are also possible on their website.

Pricing is made available upon inquiry.
